Another delightful, insightful, and wonderfully odd collection of comics.
From hiring a maid to building a house, there are big changes in store for Moomin and his family in this volume. Notable characters are added to the cast including Mrs. Fillyjonk, Little My, and Misabel.
Wonderful artwork that matches the whimsy, absurdity, and humor of the stories.
The second collection contains “Moomin’s Winter Follies”, “Moomin Mamma’s Maid”, “Moomin Builds a House”, and “Moomin Begins a New Life”. The stories include themes of religion, life philosophy, jealousy, and competition.
While I especially enjoyed Snufkin’s shenanigans in the first volume, Little My really stole the show in this one.
A wonderful read that is at times heartwarming, at times dark, but always entertaining.
